In that instant when Lin Ming devoured the black pearl, his eyes had practically turned crimson in an instant with veins crawling up his face. Veins wriggled on his forehead like earthworms, making him look extremely terrifying.
Of course, it wasn't just his appearance that had changed. Everyone could sense that at this moment, there was an extremely powerful and violent fluctuation that was erupting from his mind like a storm.
Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli's faces couldn't help changing.
That's because that peculiar fluctuation was the power of will. At this moment, Lin Ming's will had grown much more powerful than before. But at this moment, his will was filled with violence.
"He can actually devour the will of others and use it for himself?!" The hearts of Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli trembled. They were shocked by Lin Ming's means.
That's because the power of will wasn't the same as Spiritual Energy. Will contained a powerful will, and if it was devoured, there would only be one outcome. The will wouldn't be able to fuse together, and in the end, it would split, causing one's mind to shatter.
There weren't any Battle Formation Masters that dared to easily devour the will of others. So when Mu Chen and Zhantai Liuli saw Lin Ming's actions, they felt a little disbelief.
"It's no wonder why Lin Ming dared to accept the challenge. So it turns out that he has a trump card up his sleeves." The Sky Dragon Lord spoke out in astonishment. Clearly, Lin Ming's means had exceeded his expectations.
"Although his will has grown stronger, it has become a little chaotic and violent. There will definitely be repercussions for using such means." Zhantai Liuli's gaze flickered.
In this world, there was no power that came for free. Although Lin Ming's method was strange and powerful, it was not something that could be easily obtained.
Although Lin Ming's means were bizarre and powerful, the price he had to pay wouldn't be small.
"At this moment, he doesn't have much of a choice. As long as he can defeat Mu Chen, the Great Heaven Domain will fall into a desperate situation. So it's worth it, no matter how great the price is." The Sky Dragon Lord faintly said.
"As long as Mu Chen loses, the Great Heaven Domain will definitely collapse!" Fang Yi also said in a low voice.
Zhantai Liuli did not say anything else, but her willowy eyebrows were slightly knitted together. Her beautiful eyes were looking at the slender young figure in the distance.
Just as Sky Dragon Master had said, if Mu Chen lost this time, it would affect the Great Heaven Domain.
It would probably be fatal.
Facing Lin Ming, who had become stronger by absorbing the wills of many other battle will commanders, Mu Chen didn't know if he still had any means to turn the tide.
"Hehe!"
Green veins squirmed on Lin Ming's forehead.
However, his face was distorted.
He sinisterly smiled towards Mu Chen, who wore a grave expression, and the violent will in his mind felt as if it wanted to shatter his head. This was the repercussions of using such a method. But no matter what price he had to pay, he had to kill Mu Chen today. As long as he seized Mu Chen's will, he would be able to reduce the price.
"Today.
You will die! "
Lin Ming's voice was filled with extremely dense killing intent.
To win this confrontation, he had already paid such a heavy price. So no matter what, he had to win.
Boom!
Lin Ming abruptly stomped his feet and the boundless Battle Will behind him soared into the sky. It was like a screen in the sky.
"Die!"
As he roared, the pitch-black Battle Will had turned into countless Battle Will silhouettes that swept out. Those silhouettes condensed in the sky, forming into massive pitch-black spears that were covered in densely packed runes.
At this moment, the momentum of Lin Ming's attack was undoubtedly much more powerful than before. Such an attack made many experts feel their scalps going numb.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
The spears that filled the sky were like a rain of arrows that enveloped towards the region that Mu Chen was in. Even space had started to distort from the terrifying attack that was about to arrive.
Facing the violent and powerful Lin Ming, Mu Chen had a grave expression as well. He deeply inhaled a mouthful of air and swiftly formed seals with both of his hands. Instantly, boundless Battle Will whistled out from his rear.
Buzz!
Buzz! Boundless Battle Will surged over and swiftly gathered before Mu Chen. In just a few breaths' time, it had formed into a shield that was a few thousand feet in size. On the shield, densely packed runes flickered with dazzling lustre, looking as heavy as a mountain.
At this moment, Mu Chen had clearly utilised the Battle Will of the five troops without holding back.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
When the shield was formed, the attacks that covered the sky and covered the earth came crashing down in a torrential manner. In an instant, a loud and clear noise resounded across the heavens and earth as countless spears rained down like a storm and heavily slammed against the huge shield.
Every single clash was akin to a clap of thunder. The Battle Will that wreaked havoc had directly caused space to fluctuate. It was so much so that there were even cracks spreading out from the distortions.
The various forces in this region were a little shocked as they looked at the earth-shattering confrontation in the sky.
Rumble!
The ferocious clashes continued, but everyone could sense that the mountain-like shield was gradually distorting. Clearly, it was gradually unable to bear Lin Ming's terrifying attacks.
At this moment, Lin Ming was clearly much more ferocious than before.
"Shatter!"
Lin Ming's sinister laughter suddenly resounded as the spears that were whistling over became more rapid. In the end, the spears had actually pierced through the thick shield.
Boom!
At this moment, the colossal battle shield finally shattered.
Poof!
At the rear, many warriors of the five troops had pale expressions as they spurted mouthfuls of blood from their mouths. Evidently, they were affected by the impact of the Battle Will.
At the rear, when the various Kings of the Great Heaven Domain saw this scene, their hearts couldn't help trembling. Their faces had turned extremely grave and tensed up. Clearly, they couldn't maintain their calm in this battle.
Mu Chen's silhouette had also been pushed back a few hundred feet before he forcefully stabilised his body.
Casting a glance at the five troops, his gaze abruptly turned cold when he saw many warriors spurting mouthfuls of blood from their mouths.
"Next move.
I will not leave a single one of your troops alive! "Lin Ming revealed his pearly teeth as he raised his hand and abruptly waved it down.
Boom!
Behind him, the pitch-black Battle Will whistled out from the tens of thousands of troops, akin to pillars of black light that gathered together.
In a short span of a dozen breaths, an incomparably massive black skull was once again formed.
However …
This time, not only was the black skull twice the size of the previous one, but it was also flickering with Battle Runes.
The quantity was also more dazzling.
When the black skull appeared, everyone's eyes couldn't help twitching.
The eyes of the experts from the various forces couldn't help but twitch. They must have sensed the level of danger it was.
"Those Battle Runes …"
Zhantai Liuli couldn't help squinting her eyes at this moment as she stared at the black skull with a slight change in her face. Shortly after, she softly said, "The number of Battle Runes is actually over 15,000!"
In the past, the Battle Will Spirit that Lin Ming had refined only had a little over 10,000 Battle Runes. But right now, it had nearly increased by half.
One could well imagine how powerful it was.
The Battle Will Spirit that had refined such Battle Runes.
If it launched an attack, not to mention ordinary Sixth Grade Sovereigns, even pinnacle Sixth Grade Sovereigns would be in a pathetic state.
Lin Ming was indeed intending to kill them.
"Keke!"
The massive black skull was like a black mountain that hovered behind Lin Ming. Compared to the skull, his silhouette was extremely tiny, but no one dared to disregard the violent aura that was being emitted from his body.
His scarlet eyes looked at Mu Chen, who had a cold expression on his face, with a carefree and weird laugh. The latter was indeed a troublesome opponent, but it didn't matter. Next up, Mu Chen would be the first Battle Formation Master to die in his hands.
"I will be buried here with your army."
Lin Ming sinisterly smiled as his hands abruptly formed seals. As afterimages flew out, the tens of thousands of Battle Runes on the black skull behind him had also emitted a dazzling lustre and a violent Battle Will swept out like a storm, whistling in the surroundings.
The experts of the various forces had grave expressions, since anyone could tell that Lin Ming had already intended to end this battle. This was an important battle for both the Netherworld Palace and the Great Heaven Domain, and the outcome would be determined in the end!
Judging from the current situation, the Great Heaven Domain had already fallen into a hopeless situation!
In the direction of the Great Heaven Domain, the various Kings couldn't help clenching their fists.
Huff!
Under the countless gazes, Mu Chen had also deeply inhaled a mouthful of air as he looked at the countless warriors behind him. Their eyes were still filled with Battle Will and trust.
Along the way, Mu Chen had clearly created many miracles with his troops. Without Mu Chen, they wouldn't have many opportunities to show their faces in this Hunting War. Perhaps they would, at the very most, become cannon fodder like in the past.
Mu Chen's appearance had allowed them to display their value. Without the leadership of a Battle Formation Master, a troop would be reduced to mediocrity.
Therefore, since Mu Chen was still standing before them, then they would not give up!
Sensing the emotions in the eyes of those warriors, Mu Chen gently pursed his lips with sharpness gushing out from his black pupils.
He abruptly raised his head and looked at Lin Ming, who had a sinister expression on his face. Since you want to fight, then I will accompany you to the end!
You're not the only one that possesses a trump card!
A chilling light surged within Mu Chen's eyes. Shortly after, he slowly clasped his hands together. Both of his eyes, under the astonished gazes that filled the sky, slowly closed.
Rumble!
Deep within the lightning prison within Lin Dong's mind, a black bead, which was being refined by thunderbolts, suddenly trembled at this moment. After which, it seemed to have been attracted by something. With a 'swoosh' sound, it disappeared from the lightning prison.
That bead was the Will Seed that Mu Chen had left behind after he had formed the lightning prison when he split his will into two.
Along with the return of the Will Seed, Mu Chen's will had finally become perfect!
